WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Airlines recorded zero accident deaths in commercial passenger jets last year, according to a Dutch consulting firm and an aviation safety group that tracks crashes, making 2017 the safest year on record for commercial air travel

Dutch aviation consulting firm To70 and the Aviation Safety Network both reported Monday there were no commercial passenger jet fatalities in 2017. “2017 was the safest year for aviation ever,” said Adrian Young of To70.

To70 estimated that the fatal accident rate for large commercial passenger flights is 0.06 per million flights, or one fatal accident for every 16 million flights.

The Aviation Safety Network also reported there were no commercial passenger jet deaths in 2017, but 10 fatal airliner accidents resulting in 44 fatalities onboard and 35 persons on the ground, including cargo planes and commercial passenger turbo prop aircraft

See what happened in 2016
In comparison, there were 16 accidents and 303 deaths in 2016 among airliners.

The deadliest incident last year occurred in January when a Turkish cargo jet smashed into a village in Kyrgyzstan as it tried to land at a nearby airport in dense fog, killing 35 on the ground and all four onboard.

The Aviation Safety Network said 2017 was “the safest year ever, both by the number of fatal accidents as well as in terms of fatalities.”

The last fatal passenger jet airliner accident worldwide took place in November 2016 near Medellin, Colombia and the last commercial passenger aircraft crash to kill more than 100 people occurred in October 2015 in Egypt
The last "crash" of a commercial passenger jet in the U.S. happened on Oct. 28, 2016, when an American Airlines Boeing 767 suffered an uncontained engine failure on takeoff from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Of the 161 passengers and nine crew members on board, 20 suffered minor injuries during evacuation of the plane, after pilots aborted the takeoff and brought the plane to a stop on the runway.

Meanwhile, POTUS 45 Trump the trumpeter Said he's responsible for the Zero deaths.

This man no go kill us oo. How manage?

2017 was the safest year for flying ever, and Trump is falsely taking credit


President Donald Trump on Tuesday took to Twitter to celebrate the year in airline safety:
Donald J. Trump


@realDonaldTrump
Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!
